Section 18-1A-93
Hearing on preliminary objections.
Preliminary objections shall be heard and determined by the probate court on the court's own motion, or on notice and motion by a party, before final determination of the amount of just compensation. The probate court may consolidate for hearing all preliminary objections asserted in separate actions pending in that court to take properties for the same use.
